Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space. We consider the behavior of probability measures $\mu$ with the property that $$ \int_{X} d(x, y) d\mu(y) \qquad \mbox{is independent of}~x \in X.$$ It appears that such measures, when they exist,…
Let $\mathcal{P}_{\kappa_1}^{\kappa_2}(\boldsymbol{P}, \boldsymbol{Q})$ denote the set of $C^1$ regular curves in the $2$-sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ that start and end at given points with the corresponding Frenet frames $\boldsymbol{P}$ and…
We study the intrinsic geometry of a one-dimensional complex space provided with a Kaehler metric in the sense of Grauert. We show that if K is an upper bound for the Gaussian curvature on the regular locus, then the intrinsic metric has…
We give a metric characterization of the scalar curvature of a smooth Riemannian manifold, analyzing the maximal distance between $(n+1)$ points in infinitesimally small neighborhoods of a point. Since this characterization is purely in…
On a Riemannian manifold with a positive lower bound on the Ricci tensor, the distance of isoperimetric sets from geodesic balls is quantitatively controlled in terms of the gap between the isoperimetric profile of the manifold and that of…
We propose to imagine that every Riemannian metric on a surface is discrete at the small scale, made of curves called walls. The length of a curve is its number of wall crossings, and the area of the surface is the number of crossings of…
We consider complete non-compact manifolds with either a sub-quadratic growth of the norm of the Riemann curvature, or a sub-quadratic growth of both the norm of the Ricci curvature and the squared inverse of the injectivity radius. We show…
Donaldson conjectured \cite{Dona96} that the space of K\"ahler metrics is geodesic convex by smooth geodesic and that it is a metric space. Following Donaldson's program, we verify the second part of Donaldson's conjecture completely and…
Recent developments in ``Einstein Dehn filling'' allow the construction of infinitely many Einstein manifolds that have different topologies but are geometrically close to each other. Using these results, we show that for many spatial…
Upper bounds are obtained for the Newtonian capacity of compact sets in $\R^d,\,d\ge 3$ in terms of the perimeter of the $r$-parallel neighbourhood of $K$. For compact, convex sets in $\R^d,\,d\ge 3$ with a $C^2$ boundary the Newtonian…
We assign a measure to an upper semicontinuous function which is subharmonic with respect to the mean curvature operator, so that it agrees with the mean curvature of its graph when the function is smooth. We prove that the measure is…
The Lipschitz geometry of segments of the infinite Hamming cube is studied. Tight estimates on the distortion necessary to embed the segments into spaces of continuous functions on countable compact metric spaces are given. As an…
We consider a partially overdetermined problem in a sector-like domain $\Omega$ in a cone $\Sigma$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 2$, and prove a rigidity result of Serrin type by showing that the existence of a solution implies that $\Omega$ is…
We develop a regularity and compactness theory for stable capillary minimal hypersurfaces in the half-space $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$ with contact angle $\theta \in (0,\pi)$ and dimension $n \geq 2$. As a consequence, we obtain the generalized…
Given a simple closed plane curve $\Gamma$ of length $L$ enclosing a compact convex set $K$ of area $F$, Hurwitz found an upper bound for the isoperimetric deficit, namely $L^2-4\pi F\leq \pi |F_{e}|$, where $F_{e}$ is the algebraic area…
The equivariant Gromov--Hausdorff convergence of metric spaces is studied. Where all isometry groups under consideration are compact Lie, it is shown that an upper bound on the dimension of the group guarantees that the convergence is by…
We investigate the consequences of timelike sectional curvature bounds in Lorentzian length spaces for the existence and structure of the space of directions at a point. It is established that, under upper timelike sectional curvature…
In this note we show that in metric measure spaces satisfying the reduced curvature-dimension condition CD*(K,N) we always have geodesics in the Wasserstein space of probability measures that satisfy the critical convexity inequality of…
In this paper, we deals with isoperimetric-type inequalities for closed convex curves in the Euclidean plane R^2. We derive a family of parametric inequalities involving the following geometric functionals associated to a given convex curve…
In this note we characterize compact hypersurfaces of dimension $n\geq 2$ with constant mean curvature $H$ immersed in space forms of constant curvature and satisfying an optimal integral pinching condition: they are either totally…
